This would be the dining area for a successful farmer. It isn't as fancy as a wealthy person would have, it is as fancy as what we would have. A successful farmer would be considered a middle class person. The dining area would probably be far away from the kitchen, so the noise and heat is far away from them as they eat. I am guessing that it would be a lot hotter in a successful farmers house because they don't have as many windows as a wealthy person. This picture fits the description because it is small and not very fancy.
fany dining room
This is the fancy dining are for a successful farmer. The fancy dining are would probably be right next to the regular dining area. It would be used for special occassions. When the family and guests were finished eating they could use this room for entertainment. They sometimes used this room for dancing. This picture fits the description because there is a lot of space and is very formal.
parlor
This would be a successful farmers parlor. Or in other words the, "living room." The parlor would be for lounging. This room would be located by the door so when guests walk in they see a nice, clean room. Guests would wait here before moving to the fancy dining room for a meal. This picture fits the description because there are chairs, and overall is just any area that you can relax in.
kitchen
This is the kitchen. The kitchen would generally be far away from the bedrooms and dining areas because of the heat. In this area it was hot for 3/4 of the year and they didn't need the extra heat from the kitchen. It was also far away from the dining area because nobody wants their guests to see the mess in their kitchen. This picture fits the description because there is a place for cooking and preparing food.
washroom
This is the washroom. A successful farmer would wash various things in here like dishes and clothes. It is located near the kitchen. The mother and daughters used hot water to wash their belongings. This room is necessary, otherwise nothing would be clean. This picture fits the desription because there is a washing area and there is an room to hang the clothes.
2 small bedrooms
There would be 2 small bedrooms like this. One would be for the girls, and the other for the boys. Bedrooms are only used for sleeping, and people outside of the family were not allowed to see them. They are located upstairs, so house guest won't see them. This picture fits the description because the room is small and there is a bed.
main bedroom
This is the main bedroom. It is used by the farmer and his wife. Their room is bigger than the other bedrooms. The main bedroom is located upstairs. Just like the childrens bedrooms, it was not to be seen by guests. This picture fits the description because the room is a little bit bigger than the other bedrooms, and so is the bed.
guest bedroom
This is the guest bedroom. It is made out of rope and has a horse-hair and straw mattress. It again is located upstairs. Families had a guestroom to show their wealth. Generally, if they had a guest they would be there for a long time. This picture fits the description because it has a horse-hair and straw mattress.
barn
This is the barn of a successful farmer. It is used to keep the animals in. There is also fence around it used for decoration and the animals. This picture fits the description because you can see a fence in the background.
small garden
This is the farmer's small garden, obviously located outside. It was near the fields.
